Dear Friends of Auroville\u2019s Bright and Harmonious Development,
\nThe New Year 2022 is upon us. Let us step into it consciously with the help of words of the Mother regarding extraordinary times we are living in.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this new substance which is spreading and acting in the world,
\nthere is a warmth, a power, a joy so intense that
\nall intellectual activity seems cold and dry beside it.
\nAnd that is why the less one talks about these things the better it is.
\nA single moment, a single impulse of deep and true love,
\nan instant of the understanding which lies in the divine Grace brings you much closer
\nto the goal than all possible explanations.
\n(Ref. CWTM, V.09, 14 May 1958)<\/p>\n

Coming to our work, we are happy to report that the year gone by has seen success with the purchase and consolidation of 12 new plots (comprising 20 acres & 29 cents) by Auroville\u2019s Land Board in the planned township area, mostly in the water-catchment area next to Irumbai Lake \u2013 all thanks to your generous contributions!<\/p>\n

Our annual New Year\u2019s card, shown above, is a way to connect with you and to express our sincere appreciation and thanks for your contributions and collaboration, and to let you know that the efforts for providing a unified ground for Auroville\u2019s flowering are continuing unabated.<\/p>\n

Besides this e-version, we will be sending land donors a printed copy of our New Year\u2019s card by post. If you don\u2019t want to receive a hard copy of the card by post, please drop us a line at lfau@auroville.org.in<\/a>. However, due to Omicron, postal service from India to certain countries will unfortunately be delayed.<\/p>\n

If you are in Auroville, these beautiful cards will be available for free at major places in the City of Dawn township.<\/p>\n

We take this opportunity to thank Aurovilian P\u00efero Cefaloni for the cover photo and Aurovilian Lalit Kishor Bhati for the photos on pages 2 & 4. We sincerely thank Aravinda, along with Jasmin, who this year once again did the design and printing so this inspiring card could see the light of day.<\/p>\n

As a special plus, we are pleased to communicate the most recent update from Auroville\u2019s PRISMA Books. Facing unprecedented odds, like many others, as the pandemic unfolded in 2020, PRISMA chose to experiment with novel open-access publishing methods, and you can read a reflection on their experience so far in their latest newsletter<\/a>. They write: \u201cAs world events unfold in ever-interesting timelines, our team continues to experiment with futuristic publishing to present intriguing titles for a serious read in such exciting times.\u201d Two of their recent open-access publications include \u201cSri Aurobindo\u2019s Savitri: The Auroville Radio Talks\u201d by Loretta Shartsis, a four-volume work that emerges from talks recorded by her for Auroville Radio over the last seven years, available here<\/a>, and \u201cAuroville, A Dream\u201c, a rich text on its aims and ideals, available here<\/a>. You can see more of their open access publications<\/a> or order print books worldwide through their website<\/a> or through auroville.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each year, your donations have brought Auroville closer to a more consolidated physical base.
\nPresent circumstances show that your support remains vital, and precious. Solidarity works \u2013 so let us keep up our collective dynamism!<\/p>\n

By supporting Auroville\u2019s harmonious land consolidation, you strengthen Auroville\u2019s ability to be a shining beacon of light!<\/p>\n

With confidence in Auroville\u2019s bright future, our sincere appreciation, and our warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022!<\/strong><\/p>\n
